- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) is the local authority for West Oxfordshire, delivering services that support residents, businesses and visitors across the district. Further information about the Council can be found at www.westoxon.gov.uk.
The Council has secured funding to deliver a comprehensive wayfinding scheme for Witney, the district's principal town. The project forms part of wider efforts to strengthen the town centre, improve connectivity between key destinations, encourage exploration, and promote Witney's unique identity.
West Oxfordshire District Council is seeking the design, manufacture and installation of a suite of wayfinding signage within Witney town centre and the surrounding area. The signage network will help people navigate the town more easily, encourage walking between destinations, improve awareness of local attractions, services and amenities, and support the long-term vitality of the town centre. All materials, fixings and finishes must be selected to ensure durability, longevity and minimal ongoing maintenance requirements.
Through this project, the successful supplier will support the Council's objectives of:
• Strengthening the vitality and viability of Witney town centre.
• Supporting local businesses by encouraging increased footfall, dwell time and visitor spending.
• Improving accessibility and inclusivity for people navigating the town.
• Promoting sustainable travel by encouraging walking between key destinations.
• Celebrating Witney's heritage, culture and identity through high-quality placemaking and interpretation.
• Delivering durable, low-maintenance public realm assets that provide long-term value for money.
• Supporting the Council's wider town centre regeneration and economic development objectives.
